The parking spots at Pike Place dwarf in comparison to the crowds the market serves. Here's a maps screenshot[1] where I've highlighted the parking available there[2]. Meanwhile the market serves ~10m annual pre-pandemic visitors[3], which averages to 27k daily visitors. The amount of visitors coming in by car are negligible.

There is also a whole parking garage downhill from the market. Much bigger than the parking available out front.

It would make a lot of sense to pedestrianize Pike Pl and maybe couple of surrounding streets.
